The effects of speed overruns in Potsdam

At the weekend, several cases of frenzy in Potsdam caused a sensation. A driver from Potsdam was caught at 72 km/h in a 30 zone, which could lead to a fine of over 400 euros and a one-month driving ban. A total of ten speed overruns were found in this area alone.

The police also carried out speed controls in other areas of Potsdam. In Bergholz-Rehbrücke, 14 pace sinners were caught, the fastest vehicle was caught in a 30s zone at 60 km/h. In Amundsenstrasse, a driver was flashed with 97 km/h, although only 50 km/h were allowed. There were a total of 20 violations of the speed limit.
